Global One Health Summer Institute Highlights

The 2021 Global One Health Summer Institute offered 13 virtual modules since July 1. More than 80 faculty from Ohio State and partner institutions successfully delivered diverse training and education on the One Health approach. The virtual format allowed for attendees from Africa, North America, South America, Europe, Australia and Asia.

GOHi directors Shu-Hua Wang and Getnet Yimer led a team of researchers who conducted a multi-country clinical trial to evaluate the safety, efficacy, adherence to treatment, economic impact and acceptability of short course latent TB infection treatment in people living with HIV. Results of this study will help to guide local, regional and international guidelines.

World Rabies Day is September 28. This year’s World Rabies Day theme is “Rabies: Facts, not Fear.” GOHi continues to work with local and global partners to prevent rabies. With over 107,000 animals vaccinated in Ethiopia alone, we are proud of our impact, but there is still much work to be done. Keep an eye out for ways to engage and promote awareness around rabies prevention. If you’d like to contribute to GOHi’s efforts, here is a quick and easy way to support our work.
